October 1850
Dear Family, I met two men named Matthew and Peter while on the trail going west.We became friends. We decided to travel together for safety.Our trip was long.We were mighty happy to cross the mountains into California!
Gold seekers crossing the mountains.
We claimed a spot along the American River.Then we went into San Francisco to buy tools to pan for gold.
San Francisco is a busy boom town!New houses are being built.Businesses are opening everywhere we look.There are people here from all around the world.
San Francisco, a boom town in the gold rush.
We each bought a pick, a shovel, and some pans.This cost us most of our coins.
We set up tents in a mining town near our claim.Some miners don't even have a tent.They have to sleep on the ground.
Tents and shelters in a mining town.
